• ToDesktop – Web app to desktop app in minutes

  > Is ToDesktop For Me? > If you want to make a desktop app of a website for your personal use, ToDesktop is overkill. I just want to point out that a lot of us "pros" learn how to use tools like this by semi-personal use. Therefore, you might want to consider a free personal version that's crippled in a mildly annoying way: For example, no installer, don't sign the app, and have an easily-ignorable nag.

• in safari Sonoma, do profiles act like containers ? (firefox container)

• Web Push for Web Apps on iOS and iPadOS

  Does Fluid[1] work as a solution for you? I’m on an older OS with an older version but I love it for creating single-site apps. [1] https://fluidapp.com/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Pls recommend a window manager that suits my specific need

  Rectangle Pro can do that, if you pair it with advanced bettertouchtool triggers. But I don't think your solution is optimal, it'd be much easier to create a reddit.com webapp with e.g. fluid.app, make so every reddit link is handled via the reddit webapp using e.g. openin.app, and just store its size and location in app window presets which Rectangle or BTT can do easily.

• Do you think that Mozilla team needs to bring back web-apps, now that a big flow of chrome users will be looking for another browser?

  I appreciate your post. I think for your requirements, there could/should be some kind of packaging app for websites like used to exist for "widgets".

• Mac OS desktop application for Phish.in or Relisten?

  You can use the free Fluid app (https://fluidapp.com) to turn any single website into its own Mac Desktop application. You should give that a shot if you really want each site to have their own app. Source: over 2 years ago

• For anyone using Android with macOS, you can install messages.google.com as a PWA (from Edge) and use it as an iMessage replacement when connected to your Android Phone - You need to download the official Google Messaging app from the Play Store, too.

  I don’t have a direct answer, but you could check if Fluid does the job. Source: over 2 years ago

• Show HN: I developed a native macOS Hacker News client

  Unfortunately I don’t like Electron, and I did try out some solutions (e.g. Fluid[0]) that don’t use Electron, but it felt best to create a native Mac app with Cocoa. [0]: https://fluidapp.com. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• SOLVED — finally managed to get my favorites into the menubar using Butler app and Chrome in app-mode

  It wasn’t Unite 4, but I appreciate knowing about it now. It’s an older app called Fluid. At the time it was one or two of its kind, but the dev hasn’t caught up with newer macOS and there are so many competitors know; I imagine they’ve given up. Although if that’s the case, it’s a shame the app is still for sale. Source: almost 3 years ago

• [SHAMELESS SELF PROMOTION] I made an app called Orion, which intends to make websites to look like an app.

  I made Orion as a very simple app to learn flutter. I was inspired by Fluid on the mac and I wanted to make a mobile version. Any reviews and advice would be greatly appreciated. Source: almost 3 years ago
